| Young Bulls On The Attack Against Newcastle |
Hereford United's Youth Team are in FA Youth Cup action at Edgar Street this evening, kick-off 7.30pm.
Their opponents are MK Dons who are no strangers to Herefordshire as the two clubs were drawn together at the same stage of the competition last season.
That evening the Dons came out on top with a 6-1 victory.
But this season the Young Bulls are a much stronger outfit.
They have already dispatched Newcastle, Stourbridge and Atherstone out of the Cup.
And currently they are seventh in the Youth Alliance South West table with a game in hand over most of their rivals as their game against Oxford United due to have been played last Saturday was postponed.
Had the youngsters won that game they would be third in their league.
As it is they have won three of their six league games, their last win being a 4-2 victory at Swindon.
There's little doubt part of their success is down to manager Peter Beadle who has got the side playing attractive football.
And they look to be a group of players who want to play for the club.
To his credit, Hereford United chairman has David Keyte pledged that the club will continue to put money into the youth set-up.
And, potentially, there are several youngsters who might be able to make it with the senior team in good time.
Let's hope there is a good turnout of supporters this evening to give the youngsters all the backing they deserve.
Admission to the game is through Addisons. Tickets are £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.
